Learn some quick facts about these beauty spots of Fraser Island-Lake McKenzie

The popular one-This one is the most visited lake with tourists flocking the spot to dive in the clear water, surrounded by the warm sands.

Entirely Rain fed- Lake McKenzie is a perched lake, which means it is fed only by the rainwater. No streams flow in and neither the groundwater fills it.

The Snow White Sand -The pure silica sand encircling the lake is as white as snow.

A Water Crystal-The serene surrounding makes the best picnic spot. Hidden in the tranquillity of Fraser Island, the lake has crystal clear visibility with almost reflecting water.

A Symbol of Purity-The high acidic nature of the lake lends the purity to the lake and thus does not allow it to support much flora and fauna and thus is perfectly safe to get soaked.

Lake Birrabeen-

The Uninterrupted beauty-The calm quite place to enjoy perfect company of nature, Lake Birrabeen is sheer bliss. The lake is not as much visited as Lake McKenzie and thus you get to enjoy the uninterrupted beauty.

A beautiful perched lake- The Lake is somewhat similar to Lake McKenzie, as this lake also depends upon rainwater and is self contained. No ocean, no streams, no groundwater, just the rains.

The green hues and white sands- You could locate the lovely and refreshing green hued water at Lake Birrabeen, which is surrounded by smooth white sand particles.

Get splashed- The sand filters out the colloids and thus the lake environment is perfect to get splashed without any worry.

Lake Wabby-

The deepest one- Lake Wabby is the deepest lake on Fraser Island, with depth measured to be around 11.4 m. The lake is one of the favourite spot for the travellers.

Home to flora and fauna- Unlike lake Birrabeen and Lake McKenzie, Lake Wabby is the most life supportive water body nurturing a number of marine species.

Something Different- Lake Wabby is not a perched lake, as most of the other lakes on the Fraser Island, but it is a window and barrage lake. A window lake means when a window is formed due to land depression exposing the water table, and a barrage lake is the one formed due to sand blow offering a resistance or barrier to back up water.

The past and future of Wabby- The Lake is said to hold a special place to the Butchullas and thus is a historical significant spot.

Hammerstone Sandblow is moving closer inch by inch every year and slowly swallowing the lake. It is believed that in coming 100 or so years the lake will be gulped down by the nearby sand blow.
